I just don't think society being beholden to the belief in the magic money line means that my individual freedoms are less subsumed than if we simply got rid of the people to whom we are beholden.
This is where I feel like so many people are genuinely not curious at all. I think socialism has more to say about ones individual autonomy than capitalism. Even by practical example you can talk about China and their capacity to choose between home ownership or renting. How about your ability to travel? Take risks without ending up in a billion dollars of medical debt? Entrepreneurship? They disrupted an industry and made a better LLM! Even fundamentally, your freedom to play a battle royale in a shrinking zone of habitability on a boiling planet seems less free than if you had a mandated bedtime and got kicked out of a restaurant for saying the N word.
